I have been asked to write about W.E. Atchison from an EDnik I know, and to write about his victims.
Above is the man himself - he was an Encyclopedia Dramatica editor/sysop for years, allegedly a decade. By his own admission, he was a high school dropout living in what he saw was a Shitsville (Aztec, New Mexico), a town Eric Barbour called "Very mean.....Aztec High is like the concentration camp, dominated by football and bullying.....[i]t is a shitty, sucky place." We know he was on a FBI watch list, but they found it hard to track him offline because he didn't have a driver's license. In short satanicdruggie was the loseringest Loser in the history of the Kingdom of Losers - because he lacked a high school diploma or GED, he couldn't get a job, he coulden't get a driver's license (probably because his parents couldn't afford the insurance), and his hatred of high school culture and general asocial behavior meant he could never leave this (self-created?) purgatory.
Just in time for the Holidays, a look at how a nut from Turkey did a number on Wikipedia, proof that Jimbo and the higher "leadership" at the Wikimedia Foundation are out to lunch.
Why
can’t we trust Wikipedia content? Ask Adnan Oktar! by
E. A. Barbour
As
if this had not been mentioned a hundred times before, the cult
encyclopedia-thing called Wikipedia is “not censored”, according
to the simple bleatings of its inner circle. One thing they can’t
seem to figure out is even simpler. Whether Wikipedia is censored or
not is completely immaterial. Because all a hostile government needs
to do is to pass laws forcing ISPs to block certain websites within
its borders. Thus, the people who should see unpleasant facts about
their leaders — the people who actually live in that country —
will be kept in the dark anyway. And Wikipedia’s NOTCENSORED
blubbering is basically visible only to the wrong audience; mostly
the idiot Americans and Western Europeans who give the Wikimedia
Foundation the bulk of their donation income. The money keeps flowing
in, everyone is snookered, no one “wins”.
Consider
the odd Turkish figure known as Adnan Oktar, or “Harun Yahya” to
his followers. He is a little-known-outside-Turkey Islamic writer and
cult leader who is mostly famous for supporting creationism,
condemning Israel, and saying a variety of outrageous things in the
media. Plus he is known for trying to get all Internet criticism of
himself censored by Turkish courts. [1][2][3][4]
Thanks to blog entries like this,
Oktar has successfully banned allWordpress
blogs in Turkey.
Quote:
”The screens of A9 before we spoke had shown the kittens listening
with glassy-eyed attentiveness to Oktar’s daily three-hour
broadcast, part of the channel’s 24-hour programming. After a
monologue by Oktar, the kittens swayed disconnectedly to some music
while seated, as two of his male followers danced around them. Among
his causes, Oktar is an aggressive promoter of creationism, and has
published hundreds of gold-embossed books through his organization,
the Science Research Foundation (BAV), in his attempt to rubbish
Darwinian theory, often under his pen name Harun Yahya."
There
is no question that the Turkish regime has arrested
and prosecuted Oktar in the past. Yet today he claims it "never
happened".
Adnan Oktar with his Creationism book, looking like he works for Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
As
of 2017, Turkish media coverage of Oktar tends to be nothing less
than adulatory and loving. And goes on and on about his "kittens",
literally a "harem" of plastic-surgery modified bimbo
followers. [5][6]
It is utterly ludicrous to Westerners, yet Oktar is far from the only
“holy man” in Turkey having a private “harem” with siliconed
lips and asses.
So
that brings us up to the crux: how Wikipedia handles (or mishandles)
the story. As if Oktar's personal history were not bizarre enough by
itself, Wikipedia is dominated by leftists, “free-speechers”, and
pro-Israel cranks who hate him; and so his Wikipedia coverage tends
to be as negative as possible.
Wikipedia
administrator, "evil patroller", and scientific skeptic
Bbb23 fought over the en-WP article extensively in 2011, along with
Ashley “Fae” Van Haeften and other Wiki-skeptics [7][8][9]
and still patrols it for "vandalism" as of 2017. Editor
Geoffry
Thomas
tried to make it neutral in 2011 and was chased off Wikipedia for his
trouble.
"Fun
fact: Oktar's
Wikipedia article
has been a constant battleground since 2006. It is obvious he had
paid editors trying to sanitize it, and fighting with WP resident
skeptics. The top editor is one "Jeff5102", an obvious
socialist and anti-creationist. Some incredible messes in the article
history."
"Oktar
tried to get the Turkish government to remove all Wikipedia content
about him--and failed. You can tell hefailed,
because his
Turkish Wikipedia article
isn't much different. It makes an even bigger stink about his
anti-Israel writings."
From
the tr-WP article, autotranslated:
"Military
status"
"Oktar
was wanted to be sent to the military and was exempted from military
service by the report "It is not suitable for military service"
obtained from Eskişehir Air Hospital in 1993. [34] Oktar reports
from seven different hospitals that he has paranoid schizophrenia.
[34] Adnan Oktar Deputy Attorney Kerim Kalkan claimed that Adnan
Oktar's allegations regarding mental health were untrue, citing the
report of Gulhane Military Medical Academy. [35]"
"On
August 18, 2000, Adnan Oktar paid for the estimated amount of
military service and was discharged from military service. [35]
"Drug
use claims"
"Adnan
Oktar filed a lawsuit on 10 July 1991 on charges of using cocaine by
the Istanbul Security Directorate. In accordance with the principle
that "the evidence is suspected" and "the suspicions
must be interpreted in favor of the defendant", the acquittal
was decided on February 22, 1994, with the Supreme Court open to the
case.
“
Not
that Oktar has anything to worry about from the Wikimedia Foundation.
Luckily for him, Wikipedia was blocked
in Turkey in 2017. And Wikipedia has a long, ranting article about
it. The block was set up on orders from the strongman who was elected
President in 2014, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a man who has ordered media
outlets to close down, arrested his critics, and “allegedly staged”
a military coup d’etat which allowed him to shoot hundreds of
people he didn’t like. Remember that Turkey is a NATO member in
good standing; yet they are behaving more like a banana republic, and
have done so since the first military coup in 1980. Best of all,
there are worse people in Turkey than Erdoğan, who is at least not an
Islamic extremist. Jury’s still out on Adnan Oktar. Further helping
Oktar’s need to “heel” the Web are some Turkish court
decisions, which also prevent "defamation" of important
personalities like, well, Adnan Oktar.
And
if that’s not enough, have a few more amusing items.
Oktar's
website
is a perfect example of Web propaganda. It’s in English first and
foremost, which means his “followers” cannot read it. But they
are not the targets anyway. Oktar craves attention from the West,
where the “real money” is.
Oktar’s
RationalWiki article
openly calls him a criminal and a paranoid schizophrenic. Needless
to say, RationalWiki is banned in Turkey. David Gerard, the
Five-Cent Dracula of the Internet, has once again failed to obtain
the “uncensored Internet” as he would wish. The Turks who should
see this material cannot, without resorting to TOR or VPNs, which
very few of them are aware of. Or simply leaving their country.
Which, again, the Turkish voters who really matter in this story
will probably never see. It calls him ”President Asshole”, a
classic Gerard troll job. Which the troll-ee will probably never
know about. RW is not an “information source”, it’s a pissing
contest.
The
Jerusalem Post allows Oktar space
to rave
about various Turkish subjects, for no obvious reason.
Please
don’t ask about the Turkish-language Wikipedia. It is a joke.
One of MANY Oktar videos online.
He looks like a cross between Gregory Peck and Toshiro Mifune.
